MALPRACTICE?

[Vito]

I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. IN APRIL OF 2000 MY GRAND FATHER WAS HAVING FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS SO WE TOOK HIM TO HIS PRIMARY FAMILY DOCTOR WHO SUBSEQUENTLY TREATED HIM WITH AN ANTI-BIOTIC. 2 OR 3 DAYS LATER HIS CONDITION WORSENED AND WE CALLED HIS DOCTOR WHO SAID THAT IF HE DIDN'T IMPROVE IN ANOTHER DAY OR TWO THEN BRING HIM BACK IN. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY ADMIITED HIM FOR POSSIBLE PNEUMONIA. WHEN HIS DOCTOR EVALUATED HIM THE FOLLOWING DAY HE DIAGNOSED HIM WITH CONJESTED HEART FAILURE. HE SEEM TO BE MAKING MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT AND THE DOC. TOOK HIM OFF MONITORING AND PLACED HIM IN A REGULAR ROOM WITH NOT MUCH CARE THAT WE , THE FAMILY , HAD REQUESTED BECAUSE HE SEEMED TO DETERIORATE AFTER HIS CHANGE OF CARE PER THE DOCS. ORDERS. HE REMAINED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK THEN THE DOC. SAID THAT HE CAN GO HOME W/ A CATHETOR AND LETS MONITOR HIM EVEN THOUGH HE HAD NOT IMPROVED ENOUGH TO GO HOME. LATER THAT DAY AFTER HIS RELEASE WE HAD TO CALL 911 TO RUSH HIM BACK TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE SUBSEQUENTLY DIED 2 WEEKS LATER. IS THIS NEGLEGENCE OR MALPRACTICE OF SOME KIND?
